Live stream and a hpx170

[Richter Video Equipment]

Hi,
I plugged my hpx into my computer via fire ware and windows said it installed ok. I try to run live stream and it says my cam is busy. Any idea how to make a 170 work with livestream? Any one have experience with this?

My comp has Windows 7 home 64bit. (didn't try it on my desktop with 7 pro)

Thanks

If anyone else has this problem, the cam need t obe set to dv or dvcpro25. Livestream doesn't like dvcpro50

I use to use it in DV mode at 30fps 4:3 as I found that gave me the most compatibility across whatever I wanted to use on my computer for webcam/streaming.

Also, the camera cannot be recording in a native framerate (ie 24pn) to stream over firewire (in onlocation for instance), just a FYI with the firewire.

Yea i knew not to us pn, its just a shame dvcpro50 wont work since i want to record the shoot to p2 as well at the higher quality.
